It was a Quantum joke. It has groans AND laughs until you read it.

Have you been following that story with Walt and myself?
Sorry, no. ocassionally I read the topic in this newsgroup long time
ago.

Too bad. I find plate resistance an interesting application of macro
and micro action. I thought you would too.

"Photons cannot stand still in a
standing wave."

Gad, what an awful statement.

As I understand quantic numbers of HF energy are a such extremely
small quantities that have unmeasurable effects,

They are measured. Your "understanding" is an example of how a
metaphor can throw you into the ditch. Trying to go down the optical
path to discuss RF will find you walking in the bushes.

Zc changes to
refraction

Gad, another awful statement.

["re" it is only a prefix, look for "distribute" (or verb "distribuir"
in spanish = "Give something its timely placement or convenient
location". I bet it has same meaning in english]

Your English is fine.

Richard would support all Walter's
hipothesis.

No, I don't support Walt's hypothesis, I support his data. Walt and I
disagree about Plate resistance being "real." It is a very small step
over a very large boulder. (Quantum tunneling would make it easier.)

The "problem" with Plate resistance seems to have arrived through
creationism - a novel superstition instead of a simple superposition.

Also seems to me that a piece of discussion revolves around
"truthness" (in weak sense of word) of respective models more than
capacity of each one to give correct results to empiric measurements.
Perhaps a little summary of coincidences and differences can serve to
other readers, and me, obviously :)

The word you are trying to find is "validity," that is, if this is a
scientific issue. You are right about "truthfulness" if it is a
religious issue. Or possibly a boolean logical result if we left the
realm of analog.

Validity is a result of testing results (scientific method) against
expectations.

Truth is a result of burning someone (auto de fé) until they agree
with you.

Choose your company with care. Do they work at the bench, or do they
play with matches? :-)
